Anyone use In-app subscriptions for iOS?

zardon · 26th Oct 2011, 03:31 AM

Hello there.

I'm working on an iOS project for a client that is requiring in-app subscriptions for iOS and am struggling because I am not sure if I'm doing it right, also because I am unsure of what information I need to store on my clients website (if any).

I've also heard that a user registration and login process may also be required to tie a subscription with a user.

Currently I'm using Wordpress to handle the website, and potentially use it for registration; however I have no experience in hooking up Wordpress with IAP or iOS.

Therefore, I'm wondering if anybody on the WF has had experience of this; I'm wondering what resources you used, how you dealt with user registration, etc (if at all).

Also, would be interested in working with someone to deal with this part of the project.

Thanks

like a monthly subscription or email subscription? This is for a native app correct?

Its a monthly subscription or auto-renewable subscriptions via iTunes (iOS).

I've gotten quite far, but still not there. I can get a list of all the products, but I still am unsure if I'm doing it right, or what I am missing.

There is UrbanAirship, however my client is unable to pay for such a service at this time.

There is MKStoreKit, but there is very little in terms of actual documentation or a checklist; although I am starting to use this to handle everything.

Most of my learning has been going from one StackOverflow post to another trying different ideas.
